But I can't get namespaces, or their aliases. I'm not totally sure of any other use. That's why I was asking. As (or if) more extensions start to use namespaces to protect their contents from name collision, we are probably going to have namespace collision before long. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend : PHPDoc @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY : bit.ly/lFnVea
